News & Updates

SCOOP Project

The Sustainable Consultations of Office Practices (SCOOP) has enlisted IDTS to help create training and other informational materials to help other schools implement a SCOOP program on their campus.

SCOOP "provides sustainable consultations to all campus departments and offices to learn and take charge in new “sustainability” techniques to start saving money and energy. The process consists of student consultants taking a walk through the office and then providing recommendations for the office. The goal is to generate savings for the campus and to help your office become more sustainable in your everyday routines."
Visit SCOOP's website to learn more.

We encourage members of all experience and education levels to participate. This will be a great opportunity for some of our more senior members to gain real-life experiences as well as a great learning opportunity for our members who are new to instructional design.

IDTS Alumni Database

We are currently working on creating a database of Chico State IDTS alumni to be included on the "Alumni" section of the website

We think it will be a great way to improve networking between Chico State Instructional Designers as well as a way to show students what IDTS graduates have done with their degree.

If you are an alumnus who would like to be included, email us at ChicoIDTS@gmail.com for more information.
